I bought a camper about 4 months ago which was 11 years old and don't have any regrets. The main thing is not to rush into buying a camper, the right one will turn up at the right price/year/condition.

I know you are looking for a hard floor but have a look at the adventure offroad camper they are between a hardfloor and soft floor and built really well.

Here is a link to my camper http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=35363.0

How old was your 1st car  , &  , have you upgraded since then  ??? ??? ??? ??? ???


Hrrmmmm my first car was an 81 XD falcon in 96 so that makes it 15 years old when I got it. And yes i have upgraded, I bought my current car new.

That Dosent mean that I have to buy a CT on its last legs because its my first and then upgrade when I can afford it.  I want something good that is going to last which is why I want a second hand Aussie built HFCT that is really good condition and I am prepared to pay for the right one.

I assume that is what your comment was implying

The difference is I can afford a good camper whereas back then I had bugger all money and could only afford the cheapest half decent car I could find.

Thanks everyone for the tips and your own story's it's good to hear so many  happy people with their "not new" HFCT purchases.

Pioneer looks good.

AORC is ok. I believe they were $26000 new, so seems a bit pricey.

No, it just shows how AORC campers hold their value.  My Odyssey Signature cost me around $45k in 2007: the equivalent camper today would be nearer to $56k new and 5-7yo ones are being listed around $43k.
Camping is great as long as the mattress is inner spring!
